Water Quality Testing

Water Quality Testing Service

To manage natural ponds and lakes to achieve the best possible water quality, it is important to make informed decisions. Selection of remedial treatments, and the timing of their application, should be done on the basis of knowledge of the state of the pond and its bed.
We offer a comprehensive range of testing of water and mud samples, conducted by our associated *UKAS* laboratory. Parameters tested include, but are not limited to the following:

ammonia
alkalinity
Chemical Oxygen Demand
Biochemcial Oxygen Demand
nitrate
nitrite
pH
phosphate phosphorous
suspended solids
suspended silt organic content
mud organic content
total oxidised nitrogen (nitrite and nitrate)
total phosphate
acute nitrification toxicity test (used to test the water sample to establish if it will support the proper functioning of nitrifying bacteria which de-toxify ammonia)
chronic (5-day) nitrification test
many other tests, including metals

* General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories is the internationally recognised standard for testing laboratories. In the UK, this standard is administered (overseen by the DTI) by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). The standard contains all of the requirements that testing and calibrations laboratories have to meet if they wish to demonstrate that they operate a quality system, are technically competent and are able to generate technically valid results. Laboratories accredited to this standard are able to provide their clients with a measurable level of assurance.
Thus, clients can be confident that the testing, and results, will be of the highest standard, and therefore reliable. This is very important when deciding the course of remedial treatments
